Bioretention systems are globally the most accepted Low Impact Development (LID) practices. In this study, we simulated bioretention performances for four locations in the city of Novi Sad, with RECARGA modelling software. The primary objective of the research was to evaluate potential of bioretention systems for runoff reduction. The second research objective was to suggest RECARGA model as a support for future decision-making processes. Analysis of the sensitivity of bioretention design parameters on bioretention performances, involved variations related to different sizes of bioretention systems, application of an underdrain, the difference in soil texture and changes in the depth of each individual bioretention layer. The total average volume of retained runoff by bioretention systems ranged from 43.33 to 93.84%, while some single simulation results were 100%. Among all tested design parameters, bioretention size and the native soil hydraulic conductivity have shown the greatest influence on the runoff reduction rate. This study provides information about the developing a site-specific bioretention solutions needed to prevent urban flooding in the area of research where this systems are still not sufficiently applied in practice. The obtained methodology can be applied for other locations and also it can be extended to other cities with similar urban flooding problems.

“…At present, one of the biggest environmental problems that humans face on a global scale is climate change caused by the high concentration of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere from fossil fuels and industrial processes (Burciaga, 2020). Controlling GHG emissions is an important goal for human societies.…”

The most important issue related to the establishment of carbon emission trading in China is how to motivate the owners of public buildings to participate. However, Existing research few considered the characteristics of public building owners and the influence of various uncertain factors in carbon emission trading investments. To fill this gap, this study constructs a carbon emission trading investment decision model of public building owners to study the mechanism that encourages them to participate, incorporating these characteristics and uncertain factors. The findings are as follows. First, carbon price is important in adjusting the emission reductions of different owners to minimize the total social cost of emission-reduction measures. Second, the price of carbon-emission permits has a significant impact on the investment threshold and decision-making behavior of public building owners. Finally, reducing the cost of energy-conservation and emission-reduction technologies in public buildings and appropriately subsidizing owners for their emission-reduction investment were effective methods to motivate them to participate in carbon emission trading. The results were used to quantitatively analyze the impact of a carbon emission trading mechanism on the decision-making behavior of public building owners and to construct the carbon emission trading mechanism used in China’s public building industry.

“…58% of the climate change indicators are critical and give evidence of the negative outlook that housing building organizations have in terms of sustainability. This can contribute to designing strategies to promote sustainable building by the local government, and thus achieve more sustainable organizations that contribute to reducing their impact on climate change [1].…”

This study is concerned with the soaking and leaching of gypseous soil at both static and dynamic conditions. The soil used was Natural gypseous soil with 50% gypsum. Three parameters were studied (deformation ratio, dissolve gypsum salts, and hydraulic conductivity) in both static and dynamic conditions..20 tests were carried using laboratory model. A platform base connected to the loading frame was designed in a manner that allows free movement provided for dynamic test, as an earthquake. Results of experimental work revealed that the deformation ratio S/B (settlement /footing width) for the sample subjected to 10 seconds vibration was twice that of sample without vibration, while the deformation ratio was 15 times that of the sample without vibration when subjected to 30 seconds. On the other hand, 70% of hydraulic conductivity was achieved at the first 10 minutes of leaching for the model subjected to 30 seconds of vibration. That reflects the effect of earthquakes on structures constructed on such problematic soil.
